Do you like the 1954 Series. Why or why not

I like the scenes on the back of the notes. My kids think it's cool to see QEII that young.

Do you like the 1954 Series. Why or why not?

The 1954 Series has always been a sentimental favourite of mine as they were the first notes that I saw in circulation when I immigrated to Canada from Britain in 1968. I particularly liked the simple geometric obverse designs, the true-to-life reverse designs, and the distinct fresh colours used for each different denomination. I recall that even in 1968 the $20 note was the "work horse" denomination that, just like today, was more plentiful than the $5.

I never really appreciated the Multicolour Series as the designs are a bit too "busy" for me. However, I like the bold simple designs of the subsequent Birds Series. I don't like the current notes very much as a lot of the text is so small that it's difficult to read without a loupe. In addition, I don't like the way in which the hair on the portraits has been trimmed off. On the $20 note the Queen seems to be sporting a crew cut .....  I wonder if the Queen was consulted about this? 

I myself really like the 1954 paper money because of the scenes on the back and because of the nice colours they used. The bill i like most from that series would probably have to be the $10 because of the colour.

I have always liked the '54 series as it is the first notes that I remember as a kid.  My Mom always carried a spare '54 $5 in her purse and I use to think that it was so much money.

1954s, if not treated or cleaned, smell the best.  My Fav by a longshot.

Thanks for all the votes
